Component: Properties Export

General Use

Example definition
Download a definition explaining how to export objects with attached properties.

The ShapeDiverPropertiesExport defines properties to be applied in objects which users will be able to export via the ShapeDiverExportDownload or the ShapeDiverExportEmail components. These properties include name, layer, color, plot color and plot weight.

Compatible Data
It is your responsibility to define properties that are compatible with the chosen export file type. As an example, programmes such as AutoCAD which read .dwg and .dxf file types, don't give names to objects so this property won't be used when exporting.

Use Data Trees
ShapeDiverPropertiesExport supports data trees so you can define different properties for different objects by using the component just once.

After export, the user will be able to see how the objects were affected by the given properties when the files get opened with CAD software. This software will organize the objects into their respective layers and apply colors and other defined properties.

Set your Properties
ShapeDiverPropertiesExport just defines the desired properties. After they get defined, they have to be applied to the objects by using the ShapeDiverSetProperties component.
